Hi Shawn:
I’ve owned Corsair I & II over the years. I still have my complete Corsair II 
line with all accessories/ filters that I purchased at the end of the 
production run. They all experienced the wobble/jumping of frequency with the 
PTO when the grease started to harden or (with use & age) the brass shaft 
became worn. Usually the lack of maintaining proper grease on shaft resulted in 
premature wear on the shaft due to the softness. There have been many post on 
this list in the past regarding types of grease others found to do the job. A 
search of the archives will give you a lot of info. As for the drift, good 
luck. ALL of the Corsair units I’ve owned had some slight drift. Don’t know if 
any of the “compensating” kits are still available that worked fairly well in 
pulling the frequency back due to heat build up. They are a great radio for CW 
use and have a very good receiver even by todays standards.
